The Collective brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners interested in the political determinants of health. We provide a collaborative platform for our members, convene events and workshops, share information and enable joint publications and research projects.

The Collective grew out of the Independent Panel on Global Governance for Health, which between 2014 and 2020 followed up the recommendations of the Lancet-University of Oslo Commission on Global Governance for Health.
